a place in the sun
However you choose to celebrate the holidays—with friends in some exotic locale or quietly at home in the country—there is one thing on which we can universally agree. With the New Year comes new perspective; it is a time to refect on the past 365 days and how we will continue to evolve in the year ahead. This notion of moving forward is the cornerstone of our Winter issue. It is for this reason that we decided to feature some of our favorite women from across a variety of creative felds, all of whom have exciting new projects in the works, to talk about what they are doing now. For example, you may recognize our cover star, Winona Ryder (brilliantly captured by Mario Testino and styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele), as the darling actress who won us over in the ’90s with her quirky appeal. However, she is closing out 2013 with a string of new roles, including the daunting task of portraying a villainous kidnapper, alongside James Franco, in this month’s Homefront. In the corresponding story, by senior editor Patrik Sandberg, she opens up about the unfortunate incident that catalyzed what would be a long and illustrious career. The girl power doesn’t stop there: Cindy Crawford is decked out in Spring menswear, looking as fabulous as ever thanks in part to the keen eye of Sebastian Faena and styling by the legendary Sarajane Hoare. Meanwhile, we herald the return of the quick-witted, silvertongued Sri Lankan M.I.A., whose new album drops on November 5. The amazing emcee sat for Inez & Vindoodh and was styled by Cerf de Dudzeele in New York, a wonderful meeting of the minds if ever there was one. The fashion climate is also embracing change as we get ready to usher in 2014. The Spring collections have just bloomed, and while we wait for those incredible clothes to hit stores, we are focused on Resort, which has become an increasingly important season. First, Anthony Maule snaps romantic model brides styled in a furry of white lace by Patti Wilson. (As you know, lace, in all its forms, is the trend of the moment.) Is pretty too precious for you? Then you won’t want to miss the after-hours appeal of the sleek black-and-white pieces captured by Sølve Sundsbø and expertly assembled by Beat Bolliger. Of course, we wouldn’t want to end the year on a note that is anything less than exquisite. For this we turn to some of the world’s best couturiers, whose hauntingly beautiful gowns are perfectly paired in a naturalistic Swedish setting by Kacper Kasprzyk and Tom Van Dorpe. With that we bid you adieu, 2013. How are you going to celebrate the year that was? Here’s hoping that this issue will inspire a meditative moment. V can’t wait to see you next year! Ms. V 22

This past October, for the frst time in far too long, TLC was not synonymous with toddlers, (who flled in for Lopes at the group’s July 2013 performance at the Mixtape Festival, in tiaras, extreme cougar wives, or anything called Say Yes to the Dress.

It details their saga and features exactingly reenGrammy-winning, 65-million-albums-selling R&B girl supergroup named for members acted music videos from “What About Your Friends” to “No Scrubs,” with choreography Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, reclaimed coached by Watkins and Thomas and even costumes pulled from the TLC archives. “Lil the initials with the premiere of the VH1 original movie CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story Mama wore Lisa’s, because she was that size, but the other two girls are more top heavy, and an accompanying greatest hits collection, 20, which delivered a new single, “Meant because, you know, we’re the tittiless crew, T-L-C, Titty-Less Crew, so those outfts had To Be.” Written by Ne-Yo, the song, according to Thomas, “sums up the whole 20 years to be re-created,” explains Watkins, who admits to being shaken up while watching her of the relationship between the three of us and the ongoing relationship between T-Boz life played out on set. “It was really, really weird. Especially with Lil Mama, because her and myself.” As any true pop-culture enthusiast knows, this is no small feat. real eyes are hazel and so they put these big, round black contacts in, like Lisa’s eyes.

As a teen in Washington, D.C., Kelela Mizanekristos took great pleasure in doing impersonations of ’90s R&B titans. “I grew up imitating Faith, Tamia, Erykah, D’Angelo, and then I landed on Amel Larrieux,” she says of her early infuences. Still, it would take her until 2009 to fnd the nerve to perform on a microphone in front of people. “I didn’t start working on my vocal chops until 2004 or 2005, through jazz mostly. I was in school, feeling really torn about what I was pursuing…it was Foucault and music, but I didn’t know how to integrate the two.” Since then, Kelela has managed to harness her philosophical ideas with song, building a sound of her own, thanks to collaborations with Teengirl Fantasy, Nguzunguzu, and other artists coming out of L.A.-based Night Slugs’ sister-label Fade to Mind, founded by Ezra “Kingdom” Rubin (pictured), the producer with whom she works most closely. “I met Kelela through Total Freedom and Nick from Teengirl Fantasy,” Rubin says. “She’s the frst vocalist I’ve met who seems to really understand the lens through which I see R&B. Together we fnd a balance between 30
the sweet softness of that as we know it and some raw, experimental, of-the-wall energy too.” Kelela points out that the current creative synergy she’s experiencing was hard won. Though she moved to Los Angeles hoping to fnd like-minded musicians, it was slow progress until she fnally struck up friendships with Total Freedom (Ashland Mines) and fellow Fade To Mind-er Prince William. She also cites Swedish band Little Dragon as a key infuence. Earlier this year, when she was ofered an opening slot on tour with Solange, audiences were surprised and enraptured by her dark, powerful vocal delivery and eclectic sound. “It was kind of crazy playing to a soldout audience who’d never heard of me before,” she says. “It was really exciting and really scary at the same time, but I feel like her audience was quite responsive.” This summer Kelela raised her profle performing guest lead vocals on Kingdom’s EP single “Bank Head.” Next, she’ll take center stage with a mixtape release of her own, featuring collaborations with Girl Unit, Jam City, Morri$, and other underground sonic pioneers. “The Kingdom-Kelela vibe is its own special zone,” Rubin says. “I love it. There will defnitely be more collaborations in the future.” PatriK SanDBerG

“There is an Aussie Mafia in L.A.,” says the 23-year-old actress Margot Robbie, who grew up on the Gold Coast in Queensland and spent much of her childhood in a little country town called Dalby. “And yes, I am very much a part of it.” One of the recent crop of talent from Down Under—Bella Heathcote, Adelaide Clemens, and Elizabeth Debicki, to name a few—Robbie graduated from high school in 2007 and one month later landed a spot on her country’s hottest soap opera, Neighbours. What was meant to be only a guest role she spun into a three-year run. “It was some of the best years of my life,” she says. Now Stateside, Robbie continues to make waves not only by landing the role of a lifetime—she plays Leonardo DiCaprio’s love interest in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, about the real-life fraudster Jordan Belfort—but also by having an offscreen “relationship” with DiCaprio, according to the gossips. “It is definitely my least favorite aspect of this job,” says Robbie of the tabloids. “I just try to take it all with a grain of salt and focus on my work.” This month, Robbie appears in Richard Curtis’s About Time, which was shot in London during the 2012 Summer Olympics, alongside Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, and Bill Nighy. When she isn’t acting, Robbie can be seen skating the ice with L.A.-based hockey team The Assassins. A hot girl who can check? Aussie Mafia must pick their “made” members wisely. Kate Branch

The simplicity of New York–based photographer Talia Chetrit’s images belies their density of allusion. Her subjects are details cropped from the human body, inanimate forms, and combinations of the two—all of which she arranges into formally interrelated series. “Recently I’ve been looking back at the frst few rolls I shot when I was 13 and reprinting them, mostly pictures of my family and self-portraits I took using the self-timer. I had no context in mind, and now, eighteen years later, I’m drawn to that looseness, returning to it in my new work.
The work of Kuwaiti artist and composer Fatima Al-Qadiri, who lives in New York in part because she considers it “the furthest acceptable distance from Kuwait,” ofers contemporary perspective on a globalizing Arab world. Her most recent commission was a soundtrack for the 2013 Art Dubai fair that meditates on the notion of being “official,” in the context of the fair as well as in the greater context of the Emirates. “I used to view visual art and music as separate, but more and more they’re transparently fusing into one practice.” Kevin McGarry from left: talia Chetrit aND fatima al-QaDiri iN NeW YorK, aUGUSt 2013 talia WearS Coat STeLLa McCarTney t-Shirt CaLvin KLein JeaNS arMani JeanS fatima WearS JaCKet aND PaNtS GiOrGiO arMani BoDYSUit LOUiS vUiTTOn

At the age of 15, Bahamian-born Angelique Sabrina has already done more than most people who’ve been in the entertainment industry longer than she’s been alive. Having already inspired a dance craze with her song “Pull Up,” the wunderkind is now putting the finishing touches on a debut album and simultaneously playing shows all over the world—including some command performances for a few very famous folks. “A lot of people don’t realize that Sidney Poitier is also Bahamian, so I was very honored when the Bahamian government asked me to sing for him,” she recalls. “Then before I went onstage I was told that Oprah Winfrey was in the audience. It was a crazy moment.” In addition to name-checking the likes of Taylor Swift, Aaliyah, and Barbra Streisand as role models, Sabrina admits that her earliest showbiz aspirations were more appropriately childlike. “I was very into the Disney Princesses,” she admits. “I actually wanted to somehow become Pocahontas. Then I realized I could just be myself.” T. COLe raCheL

mS mr Band
New York City electro-pop outfit MS MR make the kind of music that exists somewhere in the same haunted galaxy that gave birth to the likes of Florence Welch and Siouxsie Sioux. The songs on the band’s sparkling debut album, Secondhand Rapture, are alternately anthemic, spooky, and spectacular—apocalypse pop for hyperactive goths who’d rather wear every color in the rainbow as opposed to none at all. “We have a bigger vision for what we want to look like—and for what we want the whole aesthetic of our project to be—that can really be summed up in one image,” says producer/instrumentalist Max Hershenow, who along with technicolor-haired vocalist Lizzy Plaplinger manages to conjure a variety of otherworldly soundscapes—with visuals to match. This skew toward the surreal is perfectly reflected in the band’s videos, which feature everything from perky cheerleaders vomiting rivers of glitter to a variety of beautifully ominous landscapes in which seemingly ordinary people are slowly overtaken by Day-Glo liquid. “I never dared to dream that something like this would happen,” says Plaplinger of the group’s sudden success, “but now that I find myself doing this, it suddenly makes all the sense in the world.” T.

dena yago Poet and artist xavier cha PerForManCe artist
New York–based Dena Yago works primarily with poetry and photography, two mediums she makes enigmatically cool, flat, and distancing, yet intimate. “The language of a poem is not ‘solved’ by an image, and vice versa,” Yago maintains. Her newest body of work has been shot in Central Park, where mallards drift on water with the quotidian perfection of stock photography. “The relationship between the two has to do with trying to explore an objective form of poetry, and a poetic form of objectivity.”
Xavier Cha of Brooklyn designs ontological games for the body, repurposing it as a vessel for emotion. In a typical performance, whether live or staged for video, she directs participants to do simple things like emote raw fear—as in her well-received show at the Whitney Museum—or stare, which many sets of eyes did at 47 Canal earlier this year. Up next is a piece commissioned by the New Museum for December, in which “meaning is passed through diferent actors and translators who use diferent modes of communication, from famboyant colloquialisms, to sign language, and beyond.” Kevin McGarry

armani goes au naturel
Giorgio Armani bared all in New York last month. The designer, who showcased a “nude” couture show for Fall 2013, just launched a more wearable capsule collection of neutral-hued wardrobe basics to be sold exclusively in the States. The oferings, made of luxe fabrics like cashmere, silk cadi, and soft napa leather, include tapered pants, a cowl-necked coat, and contoured jackets. Ready to get in the buf, you say? Then check out the line currently in select stores (the Giorgio Armani boutique on Madison Avenue, the Armani/Fifth Avenue concept shop, and Bergdorf Goodman), accompanied by matching accessories. Stripping down never looked so good! Kristin tice studeman
FACT: When it comes to highlighting cinema in a museum context, LACMA does not skimp. Take, for example, the epic and well-attended Stanley Kubrick exhibition that came to a close earlier this summer, or the forthcoming construction of the Academy Museum (in conjunction with the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences), set to provide 290,000 square feet for the preservation and presentation of films and filmrelated arts. FACT: This was the third year that LACMA held its annual Art + Film Gala, cochaired by Leonardo DiCaprio and Eva Chow. FACT: Following last year’s successful party for Kubrick and artist Ed Ruscha, this year’s event honored artist and filmmaker David Hockney as well as revered Hollywood director Martin Scorsese, just as his latest film, The Wolf of Wall Street (starring DiCaprio), was set to sweep into theaters. FACT: The gala was presented by Frida Giannini and Gucci, and also celebrated the museum’s collaboration with the film foundation to preserve films by French filmmaker Agnès Varda. RUMOR: For L.A.’s well-heeled glitterati from the worlds of both film and art, there’s little doubt that Chow and DiCaprio’s famous fête was the party of the season. PatriK sandBerG

Spike Jonze has always been at the forefront of youth culture. An avid BMXer and skateboarder from SoCal, Jonze formed the short-lived zine Dirt (subtitled Fuel for Young Men) and created shorts and music videos for the likes of the Beastie Boys, Björk, Weezer, and Sonic Youth, all of which premiered on MTV back when MTV was everything. His 1999 fantasy flm, Being John Malkovich, in which tickets to a quarter-hour ride through Malkovich’s mind are sold, slyly toyed with the timely topic of transsexuality. It’s Jonze’s talent for reading society’s temperature and his ability to make its hang-ups more digestible that is stirring anticipation of his next venture, the sci-f drama Her. The flm stars Joaquin Phoenix as Theodore, an introverted single man who gets paired up with an artifcially intelligent operating system, voiced by a seductive Scarlett Johansson. (Rooney Mara and Amy Adams costar.) Going by the name of Samantha, the OS prompts Theodore to get out of bed, listens to his problems, and ofers solutions, all the while adapting and upgrading in order to become his ideal companion. It’s a must-see, especially for all the hyperstimulated, lonely gadget heads living in the world today. Kate Branch

Makeup master François Nars has long looked to French photographer Guy Bourdin, famous for his provocative fashion images, for inspiration. So it’s of little surprise that the beauty line which carries a cultish appeal is debuting a limited-edition array of bold shadows, lipsticks, blushes, and polishes that mimic the colors and sentiment of Bourdin’s work. The collection also includes chic gift sets for the holidays, like the Lip Kit in Fling, which includes Bourdin’s oversize chic red lip—as a case, seen here— and a universally fattering sheer lipstick duo with complementing chunky lip pens. nicOLe catanese

American Hustle
ferragamo returns to hollywood
Since the beginning, Salvatore Ferragamo has had deep roots in Hollywood. Nearly 100 years ago, the house’s founder moved to Los Angeles at a young age and launched his American dream by opening his first store. In celebration of this history, Ferragamo unveiled a capsule collection of accessories at its pop-up shop in the new Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. (The fashion house also fêted the stateof-the-art center with a black-tie gala the night before, where its Spring 2014 collection was on
display.) The range of shoes, handbags, and jewelry, by creative director Massimiliano Giornetti, is a fresh twist on some of the label’s most iconic offerings. He’s taking classics, like the hybrid silk sandals, the invisible wedge, and the woven calfskin heels, and spicing them up with a mix of snake and suede, or lizard and high-tech mesh fabrics. If only Marilyn Monroe, famously one of Mr. Ferragamo’s earliest fans (she had a penchant for his Lucite shoes in particular), could see these. Kristin tice studeman

You’ve been publishing an annual journal for 13 years now. How did this edition come together? Bruce Weber It was tough. We’re always very nervous about whether we’re making the right decisions. Sometimes it feels like we’re jumping into a swimming pool with no water! I share an editorship with Nan Bush, Nathan Kilcer—who is also our art director—Matthew Richards, and Skylar Pittman, and we’re all quite opinionated. It can be daunting because we all have so many ideas, and a lot of them come from outer space. Why Born Ready? BW The title came from a conversation I was having with an athlete who is a close friend of mine. He lives in Chicago and he’s always training for marathons. I said to him, “What makes you feel that you can do this marathon—it seems like a longer run than you’re used to.” And he said, “I was born ready.” I thought about that as a title and how it applies not only to athletics but also to creative thought—being able to take yourself into a world where you can make a story in your head that means something to you and to your own history. What’s your favorite part of the publishing process? BW The research always gives us a lot of laughs, especially when we start on a story and think, Oh, my God! Maybe this isn’t right for us! But if you look through the book, you’ll see that everyone we’ve featured was defnitely born ready. They have that sort of DNA in their personality that makes them game for anything, which is something we all admire.
Who are the cute kids on the slipcase? BW That’s a picture by Sean Thomas, who grew up in Nebraska, which is Willa Cather country. She’s my favorite writer, so I was really excited. It all started from an idea Nathan and I had about asking a photographer to shoot the senior prom of their hometown high school. When Sean came back with the pictures and we all admired them so much, we said, “Go back and do some more. Find out more about those kids!” Most editors at magazines don’t get to do that anymore. Most stories in magazines are four to six pages at the most, but with this collection we get to be indulgent. We have an awful lot of fun. These days it seems people always want a quick read, so I’m always very flattered when they come and tell me that they’ve read the latest All-American, especially those who received it as a Christmas gift. After they open all their presents in the morning and hang out with their family or their pets in the afternoon, they make themselves a hot toddy and lie on the couch and read it, and that’s the way that they end their day. I always think that’s a really great thing that can happen. What about the vintage shot on the inside cover? BW I was working on a story about Micky Wolfson and the Wolfsonian Museum, and I went to his storage unit, which is quite incredible. It has all diferent paintings and photographs, furniture from all diferent periods in America, and I found that snapshot of a young boy who looked a little like Micky Wolfson, a little like Truman Capote, and also sort of looked a lot like all of us who work on this journal! We talked about how fun it would be to put the photograph on this issue, because I felt like if I ever had a child it would look just like him. CHRISTOPHER TENNANT

True-Blue Seydoux
with nearly 30 films to her credit, including the sapphic tale blue is the warmest color, currently in u.s. theaters, fresh-faced actress lÉa seydoux never plays to type PhotograPhy nan goldin There are a lot of reasons to like the 28-year-old French actress Léa Seydoux. In no particular order, here are the top four: 1) She doesn’t give a shit about looking hot. Seydoux, who grew up in Paris and is the face of Prada’s most heavily marketed perfume, Candy (originally appearing in iconic ads lensed by Jean-Paul Goude), shows up to our meeting in a 10th arrondissement café wearing a rumpled tweedy pullover, tooshort gray sweatpants with elastic cufs, black ankle socks, a pair of pufy white Nikes with hot pink trim, a black wool topcoat, and a wide-brimmed black hat. It is common these days to hear actresses with fashion company contracts say, as Seydoux does, guilelessly, “I am really not that focused on my appearance.” But few of them put their 40
money where their mouth is when being interviewed for a magazine sure to describe their outft. When Seydoux says “I like to buy clothes and be stylish, but I have this big distance with fashion,” I can see that she means it, even though she is a convincing model, both in Prada fnery and in much skimpier attire, like what she wore (or didn’t) for last month’s relaunch of French skin mag Lui. For red-carpet moments, for which she is usually nonchalant, ethereal, and chic, she turns to her sister, a stylist. Today, with her creamy, makeup-free skin and very rumpled, now-auburn bob, she is adorable anyway. “I’m not attached to my hair, you can do whatever you want,” she says. “It grows really fast.” That’s a good thing, because in Blue is the Warmest Color, which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes this year—honoring not just the director, Abdellatif Kechiche, but also, and very unusually, the actors, Seydoux and her 19-year-old costar, Adèle Exarchopoulos—Seydoux has her frst career brush with truly bad hair. In the flm, based on Julie Mahon’s graphic novel of the same name, she plays a butch lesbian artist with a shocking blue crop who starts a romance with Exarchopoulos’s 15-year-old character. “I could see that Abdellatif was afraid to ask me to cut it and dye it,” Seydoux recalls. No need. Rather than pull an Audrey Tautou and go to a chic transformer like John Nollet for her radical makeover, “I went to a barber shop in the 18th arrondissement, near where Abdellatif lives,” she says. “There was no hair or makeup person on the set—we weren’t allowed to wear makeup at all—so for continuity, we had to redo the blue color every day.” Half the time it was Kechiche, a two-time César-winner, for both Best Picture and Best Director, with a visceral hatred of gloss and artifce, who did her color himself, in a bathtub on their tiny apartment set in Lille. Fun! 2) She’s not afraid of unlikable roles. Seydoux may have frst come to the public’s attention in 2008, in Christophe Honoré’s tragic romance, La Belle Personne, playing an unattainable Thing of Perfect Beauty, as
CARdIGAN PRADA dRESS ANN DEMEULEMEESTER
do so many French ingenues. And she still does pretty-girl parts, like in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. (She also can play a badass bitch, like in Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol and Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood.) But these days she is taking on more complicated personalities with antihero tendencies. In last year’s Farewell, My Queen, she plays a servant to Marie Antoinette with a supercilious attitude and a visible problem with hygiene. Opposite the drop-dead gorgeous Diane Kruger and costarring with the luminous Virginie Ledoyen, she seems to relish scratching her era-appropriate lice and mosquito bites with cranky abandon. In someone else’s hands, her character in Blue Is the Warmest Color could come of as narcissistic and predatory, but she brings soul and complexity to the role. Like many dedicated actors, she sees all her characters as ways into parts of herself that she couldn’t otherwise access. “I was so shy when I was younger,” Seydoux explains, “and there were so many aspects of my personality I couldn’t express. Through acting, I fnally could. That’s why it was so important to me to be an actress, it was more than a passion, but something I needed as a person.” 3) She is really gung ho, but not very PC, about her job. Seydoux holds nothing back in Blue Is the Warmest Color, a hyper-naturalist examination of the life cycle of a love afair, whose incredibly graphic lesbian love scenes earned the flm an NC-17 rating in the U.S. She is also quite upfront when talking about the flm, which recently set in motion a public spat with the notoriously controlling Kechiche: in an interview for The Daily Beast, Seydoux and Exarchopoulos both said they’d never work with him again. “I really wanted to do this flm and I wanted to go all the way with it,” Seydoux says, acknowledging how important the performance was in her evolution. “But the process was very difcult. I had to totally dedicate myself to Kechiche for a year, to show my desire for the flm and for him. I was supposed to promote Mission: Impossible and I couldn’t really leave Paris, because if the phone rang
or he sent a message asking to meet, I had to go. It was a little too extreme and there comes a point when that approach doesn’t really work.” One reason the shoot took so long was that Kechiche extended the shoot from two months to fve, with many 100-take shots, including a physical fght scene with no stunt doubles and a particularly graphic ten-minute love scene, which took a week to shoot, with no choreography. She’s flmed other love scenes, “but not like that one,” Seydoux says, ruefully. “It’s a little cliché to say I feel freer in my body now, but it’s the truth. But it’s not something that I love to do. I don’t know if it’s something I love to watch, either.” 4) She defes typecasting. She can go convincingly from giddy in Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola’s Prada Candy commercials to tough and demanding for Kechiche, to a fairy-tale princess opposite Vincent Cassel in Christophe Gans’s upcoming Beauty and the Beast. (She also has a small part in Anderson’s next movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel.) One role that Seydoux is about to start shooting gives her pause, however: Loulou de la Falaise in Bertrand Bonello’s upcoming Yves Saint Laurent biopic. It’s one of two YSL movies currently flming, and the one without Pierre Bergé’s blessing, which has meant no access to the archives. (“Thankfully they found someone with a huge collection of vintage Saint Laurent,” she notes.) “Everyone I’ve spoken to about Loulou tells me she was so extraordinary,” says Seydoux. “I feel the pressure. In France, you’re always judged.” If she ever decided to pull up stakes and relocate, America would be glad to have her.

Legendary auteur gus van sant speaks to the eternaLLy boyish Jared Leto about music, motivations, and his oscar-buzzy turn as a transsexuaL in daLLas buyers cLub photography and interview gus van sant GUS VAN SANT So are there other things besides Dallas Buyers Club that you have that will be happening in the future? Are there shows? JARED LETO Yeah, there’s a lot going on right now, which is fantastic. I was reminding myself last night, I went for a run fairly late, around 11 pm, and I was just remembering how great it is to have so many things and how wonderful it is to actually be driven crazy by those things. That actually helped me a lot today, because I’ve been having really full days and a lot going on, whether it’s the interview with you or even driving here and getting lost and trying to fgure it out or taking the photo or being in rehearsal right before this, the four meetings that I had...all those individual things, to have gratitude and appreciation for that time that I get to do that. I had a bit of a perspective change last night, it was strange. Not that I hadn’t been grateful before, but I’ve just been feeling on the edge a bit. GVS Because of the schedule? JL It’s a lot. We put out an album not too long ago and we toured a lot. I’m an entrepreneur as well. I have three diferent companies that I spend a great deal of time on. Sometimes you can hit the wall, and I was getting to that place, but I had a bit of an epiphany last night about how lucky it is to have…You know? 42
GVS It’s true, it’s easy to forget and you’re like, It’s too hard, but No, this is what I want. JL And I get the other thing too, where I just have an insatiable appetite, it’s never enough. GVS Well, some of the simple things are the most fun, if you hear a recording of something and you like it, and that’s the joy, then everything else is diffcult. JL Looking at a piece of art, going for a hike. All of my favorite things are the most simple things. I don’t need a $100 million yacht. I’m not going to say that. The things that I consider the most enjoyable are fairly simple, the creative process, a good meal. If you’re just making food for yourself at home, reading a great book, watching a great flm, simple pleasures. GVS So have you been traveling around the world many times in the last year, or last six years? JL Yeah, we were signed in 1998 and we’ve been touring since then. Our last tour we broke the Guinness World Record for the longest rock tour. Which is kind of silly, we weren’t trying to. It’s just, they came to us. GVS They just appeared. JL Well, they came on stage in their yellow jackets at our last show of that tour and gave us the plaque. It was a fun way to mark that passage and that time, it was 311 shows. GVS Like one after the other? JL You have a day of sometimes, but not a signifcant period of time of, not more than a week or so. But a lot of touring, and it’s been incredible to see the world. I mean, we’ve played the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and obviously Europe and America many times. We’ve seen things we never thought we’d see. A lot of fun. GVS So taking the time off for the past six years before doing Dallas Buyers Club, you were saying it was an interesting experience, like a positive experience? JL It was great, I didn’t intend to do that. I never made many flms anyway. I’ve always been pretty particular and wanted to choose wisely, to work on things that were special, that I felt passionate about. But it just went by. I asked Terrence Malick about that once, because he took twenty years of. He said he was writing and the time just few by. I kind of feel like I was so busy doing other things, I was in front of the camera quite a bit with 30 Seconds to Mars, so I don’t feel like I was absent, but I do feel like I’ve gained a greater understanding about myself, my craft, and I think the time of helped
me become in some ways, to start to act and begin again. When I was on the set, I knew some things maybe, but I felt like this is a new place. I felt like I had an acceptance and maybe a bravery or something that I didn’t have before. GVS A certain kind of confdence? JL Which is weird because after six years you’d think you’d be completely panicked. I really identifed strongly. I had an instinct about the part and it was once in a lifetime. GVS You know, when you see Dallas Buyers Club, portrayed by characters that are fghting for their lives, it’s different than maybe the way I understood that period of time, even knowing people that had AIDS that were actually trying to fgure out what their cocktail was and why certain drugs weren’t available to them. Somehow seeing it played out on a screen, the drama was greater than I really had perceived. Not that the drama of the real thing wasn’t intense and insane and still is intense and insane, the FDA and that. But I mean, it really hit home, it’s an amazing thing, and congrats. JL Thanks. GVS Also, just like the extremeness of the characters and the realization by yourself and Matthew, they just sort of go into this area that you don’t often see in flm. JL I appreciate that. I’m savoring the moment that Gus Van Sant said I was great in a flm. It’s a big moment for me, from one of my favorite directors in the world. GVS Was there any particular research that you did? JL Yeah. First of all, I’ve been fortunate in my life to have had contact with all kinds of diferent characters, I didn’t grow up in a really sheltered way, so the idea of playing a transsexual, a drag queen, transvestite, wasn’t too daunting. It wasn’t like, Oh my god, that’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard in my life, which may have been the reaction of some actors. I was like, Well, I think I could ofer something here. It was that sort of project, where it was, I looked at it as how can I be of service to help them tell the story. That’s what got me through the 5 am calls and the hours and hours of makeup and some of the other challenges. I don’t know, I forgot your question… GVS Research…Research was ingrained in your past? JL Yes, I did meet with people specifcally about the role, a wonderful woman who has been living in Los Angeles for quite some time who’s also from the South and had this beautiful voice and made a choice, maybe a couple of decades ago, to start to live her
life as a woman. I met with quite a few people in Louisiana, where we shot as well, great stories, great contribution, and that stuf is really great, because sometimes you get to know someone really fascinating, sometimes there’s a voice, you put some things on tape and you study. Sometimes there’s a gesture… GVS Or an expression… JL Yeah. But I knew one thing from the very beginning—I didn’t want to play the Hollywood version of a transvestite. You know, someone who’s dancing on the table, balls-to-the-wall screaming out loud, the funniest person in the room, on 12 the whole time. I felt like that had been covered, that had been done before. I was really on my little—on a journey just to be like, let’s represent a real person here, and hopefully that came across… GVS So like at night, or at off-hours… JL I was always as close to the character as I could be, every single second on the set. I remember the one thing that I did that helped get me to where I needed to go: as soon as I stepped out of that van on set, I had my high heels on. Everywhere, it didn’t matter how...and there were some mornings I didn’t want to put those high heels on. GVS It’s hard to walk in high heels, right? I’ve never tried it. JL I found it pretty easy. I think I had a hidden talent. You’ve never put a pair of heels on? Come on. GVS I mean, I just went out with Joe, he just walked in and he was dressed as a girl and he had high heels, but they were a little too big. It just looked impossible… JL Oh, if they’re too big, rather they be too small than too big. You can’t walk. GVS Plus they were really high ones. JL I had some fuck-me pumps going on a couple of times. GVS Are those the small ones or the really big ones? JL No, the big ones. The bigger the pump, the more the fuck. That was an adventure.

Sheep Station is a tribute to my late husband, FrançoisXavier Lalanne, who began making his iconic Mouton sculptures in the ’60s.

WORK IN PROGRESS
it takes two
What can an artist possibly say about a painting in progress or a painting process that wasn’t said before?! But of course here we have a team. Are we more intellectual as a team, or technical, or both? Sometimes it’s difcult even for us to tell. I don’t paint, but Ilya does use my eye to decide the fnal outcome. We do installations together, and in the 25 years, we...just are “us.” Obviously this works. For us, for the work, for the viewers...we hope. Emilia KabaKov

you don’t even know
in this november’s homefront, winona ryder returns to the cineplex with her very first action role. it’s another unforgettable character in a body of work that’s left an indelible mark on the movies as we know them. here, the mercurial muse spills on the specter of success, surviving hollywood, and the tragedy of strategy photography mario testino fashion carlyne cerf de dudzeele text patrik sandberg “Beetlejuice, Tim Burton, my frst relationship, the airquotes ‘incident’ that happened, and then the couple of awkward years of ‘comeback, question mark?’” Winona Ryder, star of more than 50 films, is laughing while reciting the usual topics brought up on interview junkets. “It’s no fault of the press, they only have a few minutes with each person. But it’s like, Does everybody have AMNESIA?!” She delivers this last sentence with a shrill Midwestern accent, because she’s quoting Kathy Bates in Misery. Conversations with Winona come peppered with major movie moments such as this—a habit both endearing and dangerous, should any reporter unschooled in film trivia fail to notice she’s merely being playful. Here’s another: “In one way, it’s not ofensive at all. But it’s like, the word ‘comeback’ makes you feel like you’re standing in line for another chance, like in Oliver when he steps up and says ‘Please sir, can I have some more?’ ‘MORE?!’” When paparazzi photos of Ryder looking gorgeous in a tank and jeans on the set of her new flm, Homefront, surfaced, the “comeback” conversation began to percolate. Her new look has the fashion industry pointing its antennae in her direction once more, but she prefers to address another topic, one that’s a bit unusual for an actress conducting an interview with a fashion magazine: she talks about movies. 56
A lot. If this comes as a letdown, then you haven’t heard the tale of the comedic Americanization of Jean-Pierre Jeunet during the flming of Alien: Resurrection, or the story of how Winona “looking like Joan Collins in an 80-pound sequin dress” approached Nicholas Hytner at the 1995 Academy Awards and told him she wanted to play teenage Abigail in The Crucible, or the one about the time she gave herself a cheap makeover at the Beverly Center to land the role of Veronica Sawyer in Heathers (after Jennifer Connelly turned it down). There are dozens of these anecdotes, which are so engrossing they could populate their own book, a behind-the-scenes volume on the highs, lows, and sheer absurdity of being a famous movie star at the turn of the millennium. This is, after all, the actress whose flmography includes roles in Heathers, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Mermaids, Reality Bites, Dracula, Night on Earth, Little Women, The Crucible, Celebrity, and Girl, Interrupted, as well as countless other contemporary classics. Earlier this year, Ryder earned raves for her deep and haunting performance in The Iceman as Deborah Pellicotti, wife of contract killer Richard Kuklinski and a woman whose cluelessness belied a fervent level of denial. This month sees the release of Homefront, a Sylvester Stallone–penned drugworld action fick—a rare frst for the 42-year-old actress, who has tried just about every type of role.

“i had a crush on her when i was younger, so it was nice to actually play her lover.” —james franco
“she’s a bit of an enigma. she’s an incredibly present actress. i think of her as being very strong, but there is also that private side. she has references for everything. she’s super informed and it’s something she keeps to herself.” —marc Jacobs In the small town of Petaluma, California, there is a suburban legend that every kid hears about Winona Ryder’s adolescence there. As the story goes, Ryder had attended Kenilworth Junior High School and dropped out after she was gay-bashed by a gang of male bullies who mistook her for an efeminate boy. “The lore! That did happen,” she confrms with a nostalgic laugh. “I was obsessed with Bugsy Malone and had cut my hair short. I remember the halls were empty and these kids started shouting ‘faggot,’ and I didn’t think they were talking to me. Walking home after leaving the nurse’s ofce—and I’ve never talked about this—I remember pressing on the bandage because I wanted it to look more dramatic. I had this inner monologue going of Humphrey Bogart, like, ‘being roughed up!’ I was pretending I was in some gangster movie. It was oddly my way of dealing with it, because if I didn’t, I probably would have been really scared.” She had the instincts of an actor before she realized she was one. Once she transitioned to homeschooling in the wake of the incident, she found herself with spare time, so her parents enrolled her at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco—where she was ultimately discovered and cast in the movie Lucas. “Had I not been homeschooled I would not have been able to go,” she reasons. “It’s almost weird fate that it happened that way.” The rest is now Hollywood history, but perhaps what’s most impressive about Ryder isn’t the oeuvre that followed but her encyclopedic knowledge (and genuine love) of film. As we talk, she lavishes praise on fellow actresses from Jennifer Jason Leigh to Veronica Cartwright to Angela Bassett to Sandra Bernhard. She also fondly recalls the experience of making Girl, Interrupted with Angelina Jolie, whom she was adamant about casting (Ryder was the film’s executive producer). The talent of others is something she is incredibly articulate about, and her memory for the names of any and all the crew she’s worked with, from casting directors to makeup artists to stunt doubles, is astounding. “I love movies,” she says. “What I love about Martin Scorsese is that he finds something good about everything—he never has anything bad to say. He finds the one good thing in movies that are kind of unbearable. So, I’ll find the moment and I’ll sit through something, even when it’s on TV. It’s why we keep going back—we’re waiting to relive that moment, and it’s wonderful! I’ve worked with actors who make a big point of telling you that they don’t go to the movies. And you’re like… then why are you doing this? And how can you be so good? I always wonder if it’s true or not.” At the time of our interview, Winona has just returned home to New York after spending a month shooting David Hare’s Turks & Caicos on location, with Bill Nighy, Christopher Walken, Dylan Baker, and Helena Bonham Carter. “We are all sworn to secrecy about the plot,” she says of the 2014 TV movie, second in a trilogy revolving around an ex-MI5 agent caught in a web of corruption. “It’s an amazing piece of writing. I was completely floored because I hadn’t read anything like that in such a long time, and David Hare is a legend.” Despite her vast experience on movie sets, she still gets starstruck. “The other night Christopher Walken, who is one of my favorite actors, was in hair and makeup and some of us were talking, but they were flming like ten feet away. He just looked at us and put his fnger up to his lips, and I was like, Oh my God. I’m having an At Close Range moment! Remember when they’re drowning the guy and Sean [Penn] is watching and there’s that epic shot of Chris Walken going, ‘SHHHHH.’ All these iconic—I just can’t! I feel so lucky that I still get those feelings where my heart skips a beat. The direction I got from David was, ‘You’re beaming too much! You’re actually not supposed to be completely in love with all of these people.’ So in some ways I still feel like a kid, even though I’m not a kid at all. When that goes, I’ll probably hang it up.” Ryder’s enthusiasm for choosing projects has put her career on an unpredictable path. Now in her early forties, she’s reached an awkward age for flm actresses—something she’s managed to circumvent largely by accepting idiosyncratic roles that jump around in the age department. In recent years, she cosmetically matured herself to play Spock’s elderly mother in Star Trek and stole each of her scenes as the aging ballerina Beth MacIntyre in Black Swan, her performance culminating in a pivotal scene where she stabs herself in the face with a nail fle. “If you look at Bette Davis, she did all these incredible movies and then she didn’t work for a little while, and then she did All About Eve. I always wondered if she was jumping the gun with age, which she also did in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? But in my eyes she was still so beautiful and unique. There’s no one like her.” When asked to comment on what it is about Winona Ryder that enchants time and again, her close friend designer Marc Jacobs is efusive. “She’s not someone who’s all over the red carpet or the gossip magazines,” he says. “She’s reserved and keeps to herself. I remember we had a show in L.A. and there was such a ruckus when she arrived, the photographers were so enthralled. I asked someone, ‘Why is everybody freaking
out?’ And they said it’s because she rarely goes out. She’s a bit of an enigma. She’s an incredibly present actress. I think of her as being very strong, but there is also that private side. She’s super informed and it’s something she keeps to herself, you don’t really know that about her. And she’s not overexposed. There is a surprise in seeing her and realizing there is no smoke and mirrors. She really is that beautiful and that smart.” Ryder admits that she isn’t working and going out all the time simply because she doesn’t want to. “It used to be that you commit to something and then basically you spend your year doing that. Now there’s a constant conversation of how you have to keep working in order to remind people that you’re around. You have to work to be relevant. If you don’t then people will forget and the studios won’t want you because they won’t remember the last thing you did that made money. It’s all about knowing when to listen to that conversation and—without sounding really hokey—when to tune it out and follow your heart. I was fred from a movie because I did Heathers! I was cast in a movie and the director saw an advance screening and was ofended by it and fred me. It wasn’t until years later that it became more appreciated.” Today, a new generation of actresses is navigating territory charted by Ryder from the ’80s till now. When pressed about what type of advice she might give to a young star hoping to cultivate a similarly iconic career, Ryder is overtly cautious. “I was recently asked about Kristen Stewart and Jennifer Lawrence,” she recalls. “In answering I was very genuine, and I did say I thought they were both incredibly talented. But I mentioned something about their privacy and how my heart goes out to them, and the feedback I got was like, ‘How dare she!’ It’s just another example of something being taken out of context, the interpretation was that I pitied them or something. I guess people decide to take things a certain way for headlines or Internet hits. But these are great actresses! I don’t know what they think of me. I would never give advice because I would feel very presumptuous. Their success is very different than mine was, and it’s a different time.” Though she balks at offering her insight, she does see the big picture when it comes to her own trajectory in the limelight. “For me, half of it has been the sheer luck that I had with Tim [Burton] and Heathers. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Beetlejuice, where would I be? That movie was a big thing for me. Subsequently I think what has kind of worked—and if this is a luxury, I don’t know how I was afforded it—but I was not strategic at all. I do remember feeling a lot of pressure. I remember a lot of conversations where I was constantly hearing, You’ve gotta do this movie so you can do that movie. You’ve gotta make a big movie so you can make a small movie. But I can’t act like that. When I think about the stuff I’ve turned down or the stuff I wasn’t interested in, I don’t have any regrets. Yes, there were some movies that went on to be really popular. But now how do they really fit into things? It’s very interesting. My whole thing is anti-strategy, and I was constantly being told that I was going to go down in flames for certain decisions [laughs]. But I am sure that for as many roles that I turned down, there are some that I was never really offered to begin with!” Now her anti-strategy has her selling meth, riding motorcycles, and kidnapping children. “She’s this woman who had been in a biker gang, and that is a hard-core scene,” Ryder says of her character, Sheryl, in Homefront. “What’s creepy is that she’s sober and she’s running this drug operation with James Franco’s character, and to me it’s the epitome of evil, in a weird way. If it’s possible to be a victim and be diabolical at the same time, I had never explored that. There was also a slightly campy, arm-candy element to her that appealed to me. She’s such a complete CHICK. She’s what you think of when you hear the words ‘biker chick.’” “We had a great understanding because we share so many tastes,” costar Franco says of flming together. “She lives in her own world, but it’s a nice world colored by literature, flm, and all the best artists. I also had a crush on her when I was younger, so it was nice to actually play her lover.” In response to potential Oscar buzz about her role in Iceman, the two-time nominee takes it like a true pro—with a grain of salt. “It’s easy to get lost in the pressure. But there is a general sense of support and there’s a very nice camaraderie. I remember when Tom Hanks had won for Philadelphia and then won again for Forrest Gump the next year. I was sitting in his row and I was eavesdropping on some of the other actors talking, and he said something like ‘It’s kind of better to be one of the four who should have won than the guy people think didn’t deserve it.’ It’s kind of a perfect metaphor for fame and success, and it’s a funny thing with awards. There’s always the inevitable backlash. But I love voting, and I always love watching them when they’re on TV.” Spoken like a true movie fend.

It’s been nearly a decade now since Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam—better known to the world as M.I.A.—frst sprang into global consciousness. Over the course of four albums, she has asserted herself as a tastemaker, rabble-rouser, shit talker, occasional enfant terrible, fashion icon, and—according to Time magazine—one of the 100 most infuential people in the world. Though she has often made headlines for her political views (and occasional public spats with journalists), one shouldn’t forget that it’s her music, as well as her kaleidoscopic power as a visual artist, that makes her a fantastically contrary presence on the otherwise homogenous landscape of pop music. She expanded her scope again just last month, when she moved into fashion with a surprise Versus Versace collaboration based on the taboo aesthetic of designer knock-ofs. On November 5th, M.I.A. released Matangi, an album that connects the dots between all of the artist’s previous eforts and takes its name from an appropriately many-armed Hindu goddess. Given her own prodigious talents and an almost pathological need to push boundaries, it’s not terribly surprising that Maya might feel a certain kinship with a deity known as a paragon of music and learning. T. cole rachel This new record is over three years in the making. Now that it’s done and about to be unleashed on the world, how do you feel about it? How was the process this time around? M.I.A. It’s hard to say, really. This was a weird one for me. It’s the frst record to be coming out on Interscope, so I want it to work—both for them and for me. The interesting thing is that the concept of the record is based on not needing any of that—not needing a label or even a music industry. Matangi is the music goddess of Hinduism, and the record explores an idea that is 5,000 years old, from a time before music was monetized and sold. So to make a record like this and then to try to move it through a major label system—at a time when the industry isn’t particularly ready to deal with this kind of a concept...This record takes everything I’ve done before and really develops it. How did the Matangi concept initially present itself to you? M.I.A. I’d called the last album MAYA, which is not actually my real name. It’s a fake name. The concept of that record was about illusion, about the material idea of the world and how we view it. So when I got to the Matangi thing, it was about using my real name—Mathangi. You know, every time I’ve made something I just did it instinctively, not because it was the right thing to do fnancially or culturally. So it was nice to do something that kind of tied it all together. Matangi’s mantra is “Aim,” which is M.I.A. backwards. Her dad was an untouchable, so she was a goddess who represented those who were untouchable. That has always been an important part of my work, representing certain people who don’t have their own voice. My frst album really does that, and I named that album after my dad. He was also someone who defended people who didn’t have a voice. Matangi is versed in 64 diferent arts, so her creativity is not only directed toward music but toward everything. That idea is called “kala,” which is what I called my second album. Hinduism also fghts against a concept called “maya”—which is something you have to overcome in order to get to nirvana—and MAYA was the name of my third album. When I made that album I knew that people would likely either love it or hate it, but you really had to deconstruct it in order to get the value out of it. It was a puzzle. So, you know, I didn’t know any of this stuf back when I made those records, it was only after I started learning about Matangi that I started to see how these things ft together…which made me realize that I’d made exactly the things I was meant to make, even if I didn’t know it at the time. I’d basically given up on music and then I found out all this stuf about my name. It’s funny, my last album was kind of really hating on Google and everything it represented…and then that was the way I found out all this stuf about my name. It was like being led to spirituality via technology. Was there really a point at which you thought you’d never make music again? M.I.A. Yeah, like I was just saying, after I made the last record I was no longer on XL, my old label, and I felt like I didn’t know how to make a big pop record. I didn’t know how to do the thing that everyone wanted me to do—which seemed like the only thing you could do on a major label. So exploring the idea and iconography of Matangi really freed you up. M.I.A. Yeah. You know, on my frst three albums I was as conscious of it, but for this one I was defnitely a lot more careful about what I say. I wanted it to be more positive—which sounds really hippy—but I wanted to be like, Look, I’ve found this thing that I think is really interesting. No matter what happens with this record—if it comes out or how it comes out or who puts it out—it doesn’t matter. This just gives me the freedom to make music forever. This record also gives me a way to say something about all the shit that has happened to me over the past ten years, which has all been out in the open and everyone has seen. You can go through all this stuf and still be alright. And it’s not about whether you’re making money or not, it’s about doing the things that you’re supposed to be doing in this world… and fguring out what that is. Does it make you uncomfortable to be thought of as a pop star? M.I.A. I dunno…it’s weird. I’m not really a pop star. I don’t think I’m popular enough to be a proper pop star. I prefer being called a rapper. What will the visual aesthetic for Matangi be like? M.I.A. There isn’t one, specifically. I think the concept is just too vast. You know, Hinduism is…well, it’s a vast idea. The aesthetic will be the kind of thing that’s really good if you happen to be on mushrooms. (laughs) It’s that kind of thing.

Fashion lovers rejoice! This November, the Isabella Blow Foundation (founded by Daphne Guinness) and Central Saint Martins celebrate the life and times of the beloved English icon with the frst exhibition dedicated to her memory. Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore! at London’s Somerset House, will present a stunning display of photographs, mementos, and of course the legendary style of Blow, who started of as an assistant to Anna Wintour (while she was the creative director of Vogue, back in the ’80s) and went on to become one of the foremost fashion authorities in recent memory. Aside from her celebrated manner of dress, she championed young designers such as Philip Treacy, Alexander McQueen, Julien Macdonald, and Hussein Chalayan, essentially launching their careers. “The exhibition gives an opportunity to understand Isabella Blow’s contribution to the fashion industry through her work as a stylist, fashion editor, and patron of young talent within both fashion and art,” says Shonagh Marshall, who cocurated the exhibit with Alistair O’Neill. “With sections dedicated to her family history, the designers she discovered, her idiosyncrasies, and her personal style, the exhibition as a whole acts as a celebration of what was an extraordinary woman.” Working with second-year fashion history and theory students from Central Saint Martins—and with the help of Guinness, who purchased Isabella’s wardrobe last year when it was up for auction at Christie’s—Marshall and O’Neill will put on display some of Blow’s most infuential outfts. “The Isabella Blow collection is the main focus of the exhibition, and it is unusual for a wardrobe of this quality to surface so soon,” says O’Neill. “Curators and historians of dress usually expect to see this kind of wardrobe in twenty or thirty years’ time, so to consider it so soon after Blow’s untimely death [in 2007] makes it a rather poignant exercise.” It is fitting, then, that the photographs taken for the exhibition’s catalog (being published by Rizzoli and previewed here, exclusively) was a collaboration between two of Isabella’s closest friends, visionary image maker Nick Knight and fashion stylist Amanda Harlech. “What Isabella represented is that differences should be celebrated, and these images, which were taken at Doddington Hall, her ancestral home, are meant to represent that,” says Knight. “They are intended to make you think. Although she ended her life, her major message was that life is full of splendid things. Her overall message about life was very positive.” “I miss her,” continues Harlech. “I miss her courage, her passion for fashion’s voice, her navigation of cloth, of a seam, like a battle or a victory.” Even though she is gone, Issie continues to inspire. Long live fashion’s eccentric queen. SARAH CRISTOBAL

“If I had to label my supermodel moment, I would say It was that Versace show when naomI, lInda, chrIsty, and I all came out together.. skIppIng and holdIng hands. It felt lIke the stars had alIgned.”—cIndy crawford
There’s a reference in modeling that captures a certain era: “B.C.,” as in “Before Cindy.” Cindy Crawford ignited the fashion world when she appeared on the cover of Vogue at the tender age of 21, with her killer bod, signature birthmark, and otherworldly appeal. Originally from a small town in Illinois, she would go on to become one of the most super of all the supermodels, a muse to Gianni Versace, and a household name, with her stints as MTV’s House of Style host and spokeswoman for Revlon and Pepsi. The multi-hyphenate model, now 47, is still in demand in front of the cameras, and has launched her own multimillion dollar businesses too—making her more alluring than ever. Cindy told us that she feels like she’s a better model now—and by the looks of these photos, we’re inclined to agree with her. Derek BlasBerg What’s it like to be back in New York? CINDY CRAWFORD When I arrived and got to the hotel I walked to a little market to get some things for a protein shake the next day, and I was reminded of the city’s energy, that buzz. I lived in New York for 15 years. I miss it sometimes. It’s very different from my life in Malibu. You don’t walk in Malibu…or else people think your car is broken down! In L.A. you go to dinner at 7 pm and in New York you go to dinner at 9 pm. But then in the Midwest it’s 5:30 pm. That’s right, you’re a Midwestern girl. I’m a Midwestern boy. Maybe life in California is a mix of the people from the East Coast with the laid-back lifestyle of the middle of the country. CC I grew up in a small town in Illinois where you never locked your door. I didn’t even have a house key. Midwestern people like us are nice, sometimes to a fault. You smile at strangers. But then you go to New York and everyone is hustling and in a hurry with their heads down. I love New York, but it’s a city of excesses. Too much of everything…the good and the bad. There are great restaurants, but you don’t know where to eat because there are so many choices! It was perfect for my 20s, when I was working so much, but I wouldn’t have known how to raise kids in an apartment. Speaking of your kids, my assistant is obsessed with Harry Styles and she told me he came over for an impromptu pizza party with your daughter. What happened there? CC Oh, that? [laughs] He stopped by to say hi when my kids and I were making pizzas. My kids were doing their own little pizzas and they couldn’t slide them off the pan. Harry goes, “Well, did you put down enough flour so they wouldn’t stick?” And my husband says, “How in the world do you know that?” and my little girl chimes in, “Oh, he used to work for a bakery, Dad. Everyone knows that.” And started blushing, I bet. CC Are you kidding? My daughter is twelve. That was bigger than her birthday! Your kids are gorgeous. I know one of them did a Versace kids’ campaign. What are your thoughts on them getting into the family business? CC That opportunity felt organic. I worked for Versace a lot in my career and I knew Mert and Marcus were the photographers and Donatella would be there. That’s a dream team. So I figured if she ever wanted to do it this would be a good experience, and it was. We had to drive three hours to the shoot and she had to miss a friend’s birthday party, and then we had to wait in the trailer for three more hours because they shot Gisele first. At the end, she thought, “This is boring.” And I said, “This is work.” It was a good lesson. If she wants to do it, I’m a good guide. I can help her make good decisions, but now I think she’d rather be an actress.
How do you reflect on that supermodel era? CC What a wonderful time for me. That was a fun time to be a model. It was a lot of focus on fashion and how all these worlds were colliding. MTV was bringing music and fashion and television together. It felt really fun, and we were all really busy and really making money. Do you ever use that word, “supermodel”? CC In a tongue-in-cheek way, maybe. At frst I found it silly. Do we change into capes and tights in phone booths? But with anything, the more you hear it, the more it seeps into your language. What it means to me is that before us models were more twodimensional—mostly nameless faces on magazine covers. We were the tipping point. Some girls before us, like Twiggy and Lauren Hutton, were making the shift. But what was unique about our group was that there were fve of us and we were all very diferent but looked good together. Is it fve or seven? I never know who to include. Depends on who you ask, I guess. It was a moment when it felt fresh and diferent and new. Were you aware of it in the moment? CC If I had to label my supermodel moment, I would say it was that Versace show when Naomi, Linda, Christy, and I all came out together. We had just done the George Michael video for “Freedom,” and George was in the front row, and we came out skipping and holding hands. It felt like the stars had aligned. But then the next day we were all on another plane going to another city to do another job. Did you ever want to slow down? CC I remember thinking, What am I going to do when I’m 25? Or 30? Or 40? We kept pushing the sell-by date. Are you still gratified by the job now? CC I’m not doing it every day anymore. At this point in my life I’ve done more photoshoots than I can count, so I like something new. I’ve had people say on a shoot, “This is so Helmut Newton,” and I think, No, not really. I knew Helmut. The part of modeling I like is telling a story with an image. Modeling is a skill, and you become better at it the more you do it. Understanding clothes and lights and your face and angles…you don’t lose that, even though other things come into your life. More so than the others, you managed to brand yourself. Was that intentional or was it clever management? CC In the beginning it was more like, why not? I’ll try MTV, that sounds cool. But my agents were telling me not to do it. They said I could make more money doing other jobs. But they were wrong, and House of Style opened a lot of doors. When I did Playboy, it was a big deal because I was also in Vogue. I trusted Herb Ritts, which is why I did it. So those things worked out in my favor, and it gave me the confdence to go and do other projects—but not everything worked out! I did a movie that was successful for me personally, but not successful in many other ways. Choosing to do my exercise video was the beginning of making deliberate choices to do my own projects that were authentic to me, and that led to my skin care line. That was a really hard decision, because I had been with Revlon for a long time. But it was time for me to do my own thing, and now it feels like I have a real business. I love that. You’re a business tycoon! CC I had my whole modeling career, which was about learning the business. For the last 10 to 15 years, I’ve been building a business. But the businesswoman still knows what to do in front of the camera. CC I’m a better model at 47 than I was when I was 22, although I wish I still had the body I had at 22! Ah, youth is wasted on the young.

Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren marked their big return to couture with an all-black, highly conceptual show. But as is their trademark, the two didn’t compromise wearability in the name of their vision. This pairing of shorts and a cape is no exception.
atelier VerSace
Showing skin is always in when it comes to Donatella Versace. For her couture show, the seductive dresses and embroidered bustiers were brilliantly and precisely crafted to show of the well-toned bodies underneath (which included none other than Naomi Campbell).
armani priVÉ
A going-bare approach was also applied at Armani Privé. But Mr. Armani took it in a very diferent direction, with his gauzy and tulle numbers. The Nude collection was Old Hollywood glamour for the modern woman. Though most of the pieces came in subtle soft shades, this black lace dress with a fared hemline took things from sensual to nearly sinful.

gaultier PariS
Jean Paul Gaultier visited the “David Bowie is” exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, in London, and infused the legend’s Ziggy Stardust persona into this collection—the other half of which was his take on the Catwoman of the ’40s. The result was giant, cartoonish shapes in cheetah prints and rainbow colors.
best of 2013!
